When you get the cardboard and paper from the recycyling plant, is it already shredded, or do you have to do that part yourself?

Mark,
It looks like when I add my cost together which is Portland cement and
sand to the mix I am getting about 8.7 cents per cubic foot or $2.35
per cubic yard. I am not counting water since I am on a well in
Central Texas. I have been looking at buying cardboard and paper from
a local recyling center in San Marcos, this is usually around $50 -
$150 per 1800 pounds depending on the going rate of paper. Not sure
yet how far 1800 pounds of paper will go yet???
